Non-Slip Bath Coating for High Leven homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in High Leven and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Non-slip bath coating in High Leven without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in High Leven
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit

High Leven: your questions answered
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to High Leven?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to High Leven and the rest of Stockton-on-Tees. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What affects the price in High Leven
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
